An Israeli parliamentary delegation has arrived in Moscow to discuss ways of tackling terror following the attacks on the Russian capital last week.
Israel, which has been fighting Islamic terrorist groups for years, is going to share with Russia its anti-terrorism know-how.
“Unfortunately, Israel is a laboratory for combating terrorism methods,” Tsakhi Anegbi, head of the Israeli parliament delegation, told RT. “Our country has been fighting terrorism in almost every version – in the air, in the sea, and on the ground. We have learned a lot, we can share our experience with every state that would like to take advantage of our experience and we definitely intent to help Russia in its efforts to put an end to terrorism.”
Until now, Israel has only revealed its anti-terror tactics to the US, but the recent attacks made the country alter its principles.
“Terrorism is like a disease. If you don’t fight it immediately and put an end to its growth, eventually you’ll find yourself paralyzed by this disease,” Anegbi said.
Even though there is a big difference between Russian and Israel, which has been fighting terrorism from its first days of independence in 1948, the countries face the same difficulties.
“The problem in Russia and in Israel is that we need very accurate, real-time intelligence in order to locate the leaders of terrorism and try to get to them,” Anegbi told RT. “What Russia should learn from our experience is that you can never rest. You always have to understand what the threats of terrorism are and to be one step ahead if you want to win the war against terrorism.”
The Israeli delegation will also offer an assessment of Iran’s nuclear activities and is likely to try and persuade Moscow to back new sanctions on Iran.
Also, further discussions will touch on regional issues, such as resumption of peace talks with Palestine and the arms trade.
“We have just signed a treaty of cooperation in various fields,” Anegbi said. “We are establishing, together, a committee that will make this dialogue very fruitful and intensive.”
